Hello everyone! Happy Thanksgiving Week! I wanted post a follow up to my appointment last week for those of you who are following along on our IF rollarcoaster...
I had the appointment last Thursday and I showed up just on time to avoid as much as the "waiting room" time as possible only to get told the doctor was just called out to deliver a baby. Hmmm...yeah, sweet sweet irony as I am told, you will have to come back at 2:30. I don't know why I was just in such an emotional state after that and I teared up an unnecessary amount of times during my appointment. The nurse took my blood pressure and said...oh it is perfect 110/60. Thanks, yet another reminder that THERE IS NOTHING WRONG with me healthwise - yet everything is wrong and I just don't know what it is. The doctor recommended a HSG (click to find out what this is) for next month and if that all checks out okay we are officially graduating to a fertility specialist and our first IUI. I am excited about this because as I understand it there is a lot more monitoring that takes place during this entire procedure and hopefully we can find out what is going on "in there". I am not excited because this take everything to a whole new level and makes the whole IF thing very real.
As we enter the holiday season it is a time for being thankful and starting over. We can't change the past, but we can change our attitude about the future. I guess for me this involves keeping an open mind and positive attitude as we take on our next challenges.
